...right about now the new installment of Madden looks really appealling compared to the Blood Bowl.

This reminds me of the old combat sports games, which were pretty darned fun. I'm still holding out hope for a combat chess remake.

I think a convict Blitz the league would be better. with all the football convicts like OJ Simpson, Marshawn Lynch, Ray Lewis, Adam Jones, and Bill Romanowski. Now that is a game i would buy

It's just a weird combo... it's like having Tony Hawk appear in Call of Duty or somethin'

I loved the board game back in the 80's. This can be promising if they do it right
